Computer Networking
SERVICES

Through our partnership with Hinx, T2K offer the best in Computer networking.

We know that each network is different, each set of applications require different things from the network. That's why "plain IP" isn't plain at all. Hinx's consultants understand IP, with at least 15 years in the networking industry. We offer our clients the benefit of our considerable collective expertise in all things related to the network.

Architecture for business benefit

Every great building that has stood the test of time was drawn up from detailed plans, drawn up by a qualified architect. Networking ought to be approached in the same way, particularly where new applications like Storage Area Networks, IP Telephony and Video conferencing are placing new QoS demands on the network infrastructure.

Hinx understand the issues, and it's likely they have seen your situation before. Spend some time with one of their Architects and see what can be done with your network to gain the business benefits you need to stay ahead of your competition, with an underlying computer network that is fit for your business.

Hinx Architects have vision, and a unique ability to lay this vision out before you in crystal clear words and drawings to allow you to see the full benefit of network changes before making expensive equipment purchasing decisions.

Design in detail

Once the overall architecture has been worked out, the devil is in the detail. This is where Hinx excel, taking into account every aspect of the network, attached computers, wireless devices, telephony, wiring closet space, power and HVAC requirements. Hinx's vast experience means that we will foresee problems before they occur.

Manage, Engineer and Build

Planning any work on a mission-critical area requires careful planning and co-ordination of resources from many areas. Hinx's project managers ensure that all areas are catered for.

Assurance

Once built, your network should stand the test of time. However, whilst it is bedding in there may be issues which you require consultation on. Hinx will be there on the days that your new network goes live, to liaise with your own support staff and troubleshoot any problems.

Ongoing, Hinx offer "SafeHands" - Their professional services call-off contract to get you directly in touch with network experts when you have issues. Their response aims to get you up and running as quickly as possible.

Network Monitoring 24x7

Hinx have built a standalone application server called EagleEyes that will sit within and quietly monitor your network status, providing trend, graph, uptime and alert information for your network regardless of equipment vendor. Accessed via a web browser, all the information about your network is available instantly, 24x7 for you.

Service Provider Consultancy

Being well-informed is an art. We take this for granted, but often each piece of an overall network architecture requires different skills from the consultant. That's why at Hinx they form a team with all of the appropriate skills to offer a complete view of your architecture, to develop an architecture that delivers to your expectations and beyond. Hinx's expertise is in:

• MPLS TE designs: full/partial/hierarchical MPLS Traffic Engineering Tunnels using RSVP
• IGP designs: maximising the effects of Interior Gateway Protocols to best serve a flexible network
• QoS considerations: How using QoS, coupled with DiffServe-TE could release bandwidth in your network and allow you to offer truly differentiated service
• Triple-play: delivering multiple Multicast streams to intelligent Access/Edge equipment with bandwidth management.

Our expertise is gained in real-life environments, not just in PowerPoint; Hinx have used products and designs that work in the real world.
